Restoring speech intelligibility for hearing aid users with deep learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Almost half a billion people world-wide suffer from disabling hearing loss. While hearing aids can partially compensate for this, a large proportion of users struggle to understand speech in situations with background noise. Here, we present a deep learning-based algorithm that selectively suppresses noise while maintaining speech signals.

Clarity: Machine Learning Challenges to Revolutionise Hearing Device Processing [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In the Clarity project, we will run a series of machine learning challenges to revolutionise speech processing for hearing devices. Over five years, there will be three paired challenges. Each pair will consist of a competition focussed on hearing-device processing ("enhancement") and another focussed on speech perception modelling ("prediction").
